Detecting threats in train stations without compromising citizens’ privacy.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Surface transportation such as subway systems can be a unique security challenge due to the large crowds of travelers and the open, unstructured environment. Public safety officials (including mass transit operators, mass transit police, and state and federal law enforcement teams) need a capability to detect potential threat items on persons and in bags without negatively impacting the speed of travel.
How do we detect terror threats in train stations without searching people or compromising their privacy?
A video algorithm detects bags left behind and cutting-edge video forensic tools are some of the technologies used to secure train stations and protect the traveling public.

Security Challenges to the Transportation Industry
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
The transportation industry is unique because it plays a role in both the minutiae of everyday life and the overall economy’s well-being. Providing uninterrupted and efficient transportation services depends heavily on the safety and security of transportation entities.
Due to the vast amount of people frequenting transit stations and the importance of the items on ships and ferries, the transportation sector faces multiple challenges that evolve as the industry advances.

Safeguarding Critical Infrastructure In The Transportation Sector
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
In today’s reality, the consequences of inaction are too severe to ignore. Threats in the transport sector, including rail, go beyond the fear of potential financial losses; they can compromise passenger and cargo safety, disrupt economies and endanger national security.
It threatens the things that we care for the most, including the safety of our close ones.
